PostHog Core Workflow A

Overview

Primary money-path workflow for PostHog. This is the most common use case. PostHog is an open-source product analytics platform that captures user events, tracks feature flag states, records sessions, and runs A/B experiments. Unlike third-party analytics services, PostHog can be self-hosted so that event data never leaves your infrastructure, which is critical for companies with strict data residency or privacy requirements.

Prerequisites

Completed posthog-install-auth setup
Understanding of PostHog core concepts
Valid API credentials configured

Instructions

Step 1: Initialize

Authenticate with the PostHog API using your project API key. Verify that the PostHog SDK is correctly initialized in your application and that events are flowing to your project. Confirm that distinct user IDs are consistent across anonymous and identified sessions to avoid identity fragmentation in your funnel analysis.

// Step 1 implementation

Step 2: Execute

Capture the target events using posthog.capture() calls with the appropriate event name and property payload. Ensure that each event includes the properties needed for downstream analysis — for example, subscription tier, page name, or experiment variant. Use the PostHog API to query event counts, create funnels, or fetch session recordings programmatically when you need to embed analytics data in external dashboards.

// Step 2 implementation

Step 3: Finalize

Review the captured events in the PostHog dashboard to verify that property names are consistent and that volumes match expectations. Set up any required alerts or annotations to mark significant product changes that could affect metric trends. Export the data or query results to your reporting pipeline if needed.

// Step 3 implementation

Output

Completed Core Workflow A execution
Events successfully captured and queryable in PostHog
Verified event schema with consistent property names
Success confirmation or error details if event ingestion failed
